Cult band Dalindèo has been active for over 20 years and is one of the most significant Finnish jazz bands. Led by its composer-guitarist Valtteri Laurell Pöyhönen, the group has performed both at almost all Finnish festivals and concert halls and in over 12 European countries and Morocco.

2025 will mark the 20th anniversary of the group’s first release, “Poseidon/Solifer-Lento”. The group’s first releases were through Helsinki-based Ricky-Tick Records, and since 2013, their publishers have been Suomen Musiikki and London-based BBE Records.

Their 2013 album, “Kallio”, garnered them unusual fame in Finland and the band began to play widely outside the jazz circles. “Kallio” won the Emma Award for Jazz that year, and Pöyhönen’s compositions received a Teosto Prize nomination. It is considered a Finnish jazz classic.

On the Kallio & Beyond anniversary tour, Dalindèo presents a cross-section of their six albums, from 2007’s Open Scenes disc to their latest album, Tropicalia Nordica, without forgetting the favourites from Kallio.

Dalindèo’s members have remained the same since 2004 and there is a unique magic in their music, which can only be created over hundreds of gigs and thousands of miles on the road.
